[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing maybe DCPS or a charter will feel like backtracking for you, unless maybe you get an immersion or dual language school. Even though your child will likely be challenged by some, if not all, of the academics, a significant amount of time will be focused on everyday skills: lining up, sitting on the rug, taking turns, moving smoothly through stations, etc. And although I'm sure your child knows how to do all of this perfectly, the teachers will need to be helping OTHER children who may not be quite as advanced as yours. Most three-year-olds can't get their milk open without help, and getting all of them through a meal and to the bathroom can take a big chunk of time right there.

In our Tier 2 charter, the year was divided into units of study like People in the Neighborhood, Making Healthy Choices, etc. and there were projects that went along with each unit. They also went through one letter of the alphabet per week, learning to recognize it and pronounce the sound. Kids learned to write their names and count.[/quote]

The second part of your response sounds like what I am looking for.  I do also understand the basics of lining up, taking turns, sharing, etc.  All 3 year olds need help with this!  Thanks![/quote]
